I am so proud to be apart of this non-profit organisation.
The Australian Community of Child Photographers (formerly known as the Australian Charity of Child Photographers) is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner.
Child Photographers throughout Australia have networked together to provide complimentary individual or family portrait sessions for families who meet the ACOCP criteria. Stillbirths (over 22 weeks), critically premature (under 28 weeks) and ill infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as babies and children with serious and terminal illnesses.
Participating photographers will come to the hospital or your home at a time convenient to you and will help supply you with cherished photographic memories. There will be no charge for this service. After your session the photographer will provide your family with a full set of 4×6in prints (approximately twenty, circumstances permitting sufficient variety of images). The photographer will also supply a disk of high resolution images for the family. There will be no charge for this service or these prints.
If you know of any families who would benefit from our services please do not hesitate to contact your local state contact or a participating photographer in your area; these are listed in the photographers section. We understand that time is crucial in some cases which is why our state coordinators are able to take your call 24/7.
